Rencontres Nationales des communes et collectifs participatifs (Actions Communes)

France

Urban commons and municipalismDemocratic innovationNetwork meetingNational

Annual gathering of the citizen and participatory lists that stand in French municipal elections, of the councils they govern and of the groups still in opposition. The Actions Communes network organises it in a different place each year (Vaour 2024, Poitiers 2025, Penne 2026), with workshops, an open forum and festivities over three or four days. People share what comes after the campaign: governing as a minority, sharing power, involving residents. The association is recent (third year in 2025), though the Rencontres predate it.
